Playstation 3

It's a good list, though I'm annoyed because I own Dead Nation, and have owned infamous and LBP. For anyone else, I would advise that you go for those games

For Europe, we get Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty instead of Super Stardust HD.

Nice to see a couple of retails games listed (despite probably being cheaper than most PSN games now..). Absolutely every PS3 owner should have LBP by the end! I'll probably get inFamous, despite completing it before, and not sure on the other. Kind of wish I had a PSP to get the other free games =/

EDIT: Just thinking, if we have both a US and a EU account, will we get 4 free titles? I'm sure Sony will prevent that, but just food for thought.

I was wondering about that.

I may be tempted for an inFamous "refresher course" before no. 2 comes out.

Everybody here at home have a PSN account: Wifey, daughter and myself, plus 2 fake japanese and european ones (for PES demo purposes).
Would that mean I'm entitled to download 2 games per account, 10 total, or only 2, being all in one console?

I would imagine that you'd only be able to download 2 per console. Some people will have more accounts than you.... that's a lot of free stuff!

Details of SNEE & SCEE’s Identity Theft Protection Programme

Last week we informed you that we would be liaising with providers of identity theft protection plans following the malicious attack on PlayStation Network throughout our region. We are now in a position to provide you with actual details of the programme for current PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers in UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

As I have explained previously, identifying such programmes for the many countries within the SCEE region is a very complicated process. Each country has a different way of handling identity theft; whilst some offer relatively sophisticated services, others may not. Therefore, we must stress that this is an ongoing process which will see new identity theft protection programmes identified where possible.

That said, we are pleased to advise that Affinion International Limited, a leader in identity protection products in Europe, will be offering a comprehensive service that covers a significant proportion of PSN users free of charge for the first 12 months.

Affinion International Limited will be offering the following identity theft protection service and insurance through their fraud protect programme for the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

The fraud protect proposition cover three key areas:*

Personal Information protection

Monitoring and Alerting Service
Personal Information Protection Software

Help / Assistance and guidance

Dedicated helpline
Victim of Fraud support

Financial Protection

Insurance that covers the expenses incurred in identity restoration following identity fraud
Card Monitoring and Alerting Service

We are still working to identify similar services for those countries not covered by this offering, and this will depend on reputable businesses offering appropriate services. As such, we promise to keep you updated on progress right here on PlayStation.Blog.

We will provide you with information on how to contact Affinion shortly about this service.

Sony's PlayStation Network password reset system-the one just put in place after the PSN hack-has been compromised, allowing hackers to change a PSN password if they know your email and date of birth. Exactly the sort of information that was released in the original hack.

Update 1: The good news (as pointed out by NeoGAF's "Metalmurphy") is that if your account was compromised, you should have gotten an email from PSN that says your password has been reset.

Update 2: An official community moderator on the EU PlayStation forums notes the following services are offline:

PlayStation.com
PlayStation forums
PlayStation Blog
Qriocity.com
Music Unlimited via the web client
All PlayStation game title websites

Resistance 3 box art. Very nice me thinks. So many covers are over complicated and flashy, this one is simplistic but it draws the eye.

I received an email confirming that my password has been changed successfully. I'm pretty sure (read as "I hope") that's from the first time I was asked to provide a new password. This is the only email I have received from PS in regards to passwrod changing, so I'm pretty sure no one else has changed my password since then. I guess I'll have to check it out when I get home.

Think my HDMI slot is broken. Can't get any output at all. And I just got LA Noire for this as well. My 360 is laughing at me.

 

[Dragonfly]

We're all laughing at you.

 

[Joel]

Then I shall ban all of you.

I come from the admin school of Sweey, afterall.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker could be ported to PS3

Any of you fuckers fancy some private games on MW1?

 

[Joel]

Haven't played that in years (haven't played any type of COD in months), but if we get enough people then sure.

 

[Ziss]

Coolio; how long do the PS3 updates take? Not fired it up in a few weeks...

 

[Joel]

It wasn't that long, iirc. Think it was less than 10 minutes.

 

[Ziss]

Well I updated my PS3 after it crashing @ 92% a few times.

Unfortunately a friend is borrowing my PS3 copy of MW1, I completely forgot! :-/
